What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: Complementary health (CH) modalities can be used as part of a Lifestyle Medicine (LM) approach to preventing and managing chronic conditions. Methods: This cross-sectional study used data for respondents to the 2020 (N = 6,715) and 2014/2015 (N = 11,112) cycles of a Northern California health plan member survey to estimate use in 2020 of five CH modalities relevant to LM: vegetarian/vegan diet, mind/body stress management techniques (MBSM), yoga/Pilates, massage therapy, and prayer/spiritual practice. Use was estimated by sex and racial/ethnic group (White, Black, Latino, Asian/PI)) for ages 35-64 and 65-79 years and for adults 35-79 years with diabetes, hypertension, heart disease, fair/poor sleep quality, and chronic stress. CH use in 2020 was compared to 2014/2015. Results: In 2020, 53% of adults used ≥1 of these CH modalities, including 8.4% vegetarian/vegan diet, 25.8% MBSM, 23.7% prayer/spiritual practice, 16.5% yoga/Pilates, and 17.7% massage. Sex, age group, and racial/ethnic differences were seen in use of most CH modalities, and CH modality use varied by health condition. Significant increases from 2014/2015 to 2020 were seen in use of MBSM and yoga/Pilates, vegetarian/vegan diet, and prayer/spiritual practice. Conclusion: There is substantial opportunity to increase use of CH modalities within a LM approach to preventing and managing chronic health conditions.
